Spring bank holiday 2020 will be moved from Monday 4 to Friday 8 May to coincide with the 75th anniversary of VE day.
Employers should consider the impact on holiday entitlement for part-time workers or those working irregular work patterns. Part-time employees who don’t normally work on Fridays will benefit from an increase in holidays, as they won’t need to book time off, with the reverse being true for those off on Mondays and working Fridays. Also impacted are employees who work different hours on a Monday or Friday.
